Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is fine, I remember it being a lot harder when I was younger, but coming back to it now I didn't really have any issues.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I liked the janky graphics and the 2D animated bits were neat, but the physics were so broken that I nearly quit the game at several points out of frustration, the game is really bad at registering clicks and hitboxes for interactions are bad, the hand controls are VERY busted, the story was unclear after the mannequin task, and overall I just did not enjoy this game.
